The Wolves of the Northlands
Proper Name. Halasian, sometimes Northman
City and District of Origin. Freeport - Scale Yard; Qeynos - Graystone Yard
Racial Homeland. Halas - The Northlands
Alignment. Neutral
Mythical Creator. Erollisi and Mithaniel Marr
Racial Language. Halasian
Barbarians are tall, powerful humanoids. They are close kindred to humans and share most of the defining physical features, but are physically more imposing than their smaller human cousins. The body of a barbarian is often blessed with greater muscle mass. Their height averages about 7 feet. The hair styles are typically long and full--a link to their past, when such hairstyles assisted in surviving chilling weather.
Skin Color.
Barbarians hail from the northern lands, but have adapted to many climates. Their skin color ranges from pale to bronze.
Hair Color.
Barbarian hair color begins with nearly pure white, and can range all the way to brown and black. Various hues of red are also common among the race.
Barbarians are a proud warrior race, whose history is grounded in millennia of merciless clan warfare. Their savage ways have been somewhat moderated by exposure to civilization, but the barbarian heart still harbors the inner rage that fueled their ancestors, and so they are regarded as one of the most fearless combatants on Norrath.
Though still aggressive by nature, barbarians tolerate most other races and are willing to ally themselves with most anyone who shares their sense of justice. Acting in a dishonorable way toward a barbarian, however, will earn you an enemy for life.
Barbarians are a race of tall humanoids created by Mithaniel and Erollisi Marr. This hardy race originally settled in the cold lands of the north, building their city of Halas within the frozen tundra of Everfrost. Their buildings are somewhat primitive by human standards, making use of raw materials and simple architecture. Interiors are often decorated with trophies from battle as well as skins and hides used as tapestries for recording their culture's history and lore. The arrival of the barbarians on Norrath ushered in the Age of Blood. Barbarians moved outward from their northern home, initiating brutal battles with whatever races they encountered. Tribes would war with anyone, including other barbarians, as a means to grow in strength and power. Eventually the Marr twins sparked more insightful thinking among the barbarians, and these wiser folk became the fathers and mothers of the human race.
Barbarians are known for wearing their emotions on their sleeves, and have no problem with telling you exactly what they think of you. They will gladly back up their boasts with a show of force.
While many barbarians worship the Marr twins who created them, fighters tend to honor the militaristic traditions of Rallos Zek. This race's highly developed sense of justice inspires many to worship the Tribunal, which can spur near fanatical devotion amongst the religious caste.
Recent History
Barbarians were forced to retreat from Halas at the start of the Rallosian War, when savage snow orcs began to take control of the northern lands. After the defeat of the orcs some barbarians reclaimed their home, though many stayed behind in the cities of men.
Although saddened by separation from their ancestral home in the Shattering, barbarians are an extremely adaptable race. Since many of them had already made their homes in the human cities, adapting to life in the current age has been relatively easy for them.
Masters of Steel and Stone
Proper Name. Dwarf
City and District of Origin. Qeynos - Graystone Yard
Racial Homeland. Kaladim - The Butcherblok Mountains on Faydwer
Alignment. Good
Mythical Creator. Brell Serilis
Racial Language. Dwarven
Dwarves of Norrath are a stout and mighty race. Pound for pound, they are one of the strongest races. Their bodies are broad and muscular. They average 4 feet in height, but their weight can often be greater than their height might suggest, often ranging between 150 and 200 pounds. They have large noses and ears. A dwarf takes great pride in his or her hairstyle, often wearing styles that have been passed down from their ancestors for generations.
Their beards are typically bushy and full. In ages past, even the females once wore beards. Dwarves take great pride in their beards, and view a beard's fullness as a sign of prestige. Dwarves have a love of metal, and their forging skills are some of the finest in all of Norrath. Their armor is durable, and etched with extravagant designs and runes. They often wear thick layers of soot-covered apparel; since the dwarves view earthen material as sacred, they are not repelled by grime or soot on their armor.
Skin Color.
Dwarf skin color begins at pale and ranges through light skin colors to a darker dusky overtone, almost grayish.
Hair Color.
Dwarf hair color can be blonde, brown, red or black in various hues and shades.
Dwarves are often loud and abrasive with a fondness for revelry and can frequently be overheard telling tales of legendary dwarven battles. They have a bond to the earthen realms and usually dwell within grand halls cut deep within mountainsides that seem more suited for the girth of a giant than a stout dwarf. An appreciation for rare minerals and forging has resulted in some of the finest weapons and armor ever to be crafted. Fellowship with a dwarf is never forgotten, but to be deemed worthy of such friendship is often difficult to acquire. Dwarves are a noble and honorable race and will fight to death even against great odds rather than run and are dishonored. Heritage is extremely important to a dwarf and they will never wish to bring shame upon their lineage.
The Dwarves are a short, sturdy people created by Brell Serilis. Stout and strong, this race is known for its bravery and sense of honor - though not particularly for its intellect. Dwarves make the most faithful of friends and, should the situation require it, the most tenacious of enemies. Dwarves possess an abiding love for stone and earth, having carved their home city of Kaladim deep into the dense rock of the Butcherblock Mountains. Kaladim's architecture showed the pride dwarven artisans take in their work: clean, elaborately carved stones were used to construct the practical yet ornate buildings within the city. Similarly, dwarven armor and weaponry is well known for its high quality and durability; it is often etched with extravagant designs and runes. Considered excellent miners, dwarves love to harvest rare and precious gems from the depths of the earth. In honor of their ancestral homeland, many dwarves mark their faces with symbols of their sacred earth.
Dwarves are devoted to their creator, Brell. No matter how long his direct influence has been absent from their lives, their faith does not waver. While scouts often choose to worship Bristlebane, the King of Thieves, none will forget the debt owed to their maker.
Recent History
The dwarves' love of culture and tradition run deep. While most dwarves are resolved to work together with the other races and rebuild the world, a few sing songs of deep and hopeless sorrow, wanting only to return to their beloved Kaladim. As a kind of comfort and therapy, dwarves surround themselves with decoration and architecture that reminds them of home. There is not a dwarf in Norrath-no matter how battle hardened-who will not shed a tear when thinking about his beloved Butcherblock Mountains.
Dark Elf
Conquerors of the Underfoot
Proper Name. Teir'Dal
City and District of Origin. Freeport - Longshadow Alley
Racial Homeland. Neriak - The Underfoot
Alignment. Evil
Mythical Creator. Innorruuk
Racial Language. Thexian
Dark elves are lithe, often with a wiry, well-defined musculature. They stand approximately 5 feet and weigh around 100 to 115 pounds. They share the common elf trait of pointed ears. Their typical garb is both alluring and functional for combat or special ceremonies. Much of their armor is highly ornate, and details the history of the race, or a particular dark elf house, within the pictures engraved on the armor.
Skin Color.
Dark elf skin color is unlike any other race on Norrath. Skin tones range from dove gray at the palest to deep, midnight blues.
Hair Color.
Dark elf hair ranges from snow-white to a dulled charcoal gray (not quite black). Very pale blonde tones (such as bone) may also be found amongst dark elves. Metallic hues such as silver or steel are not uncommon.
The dark elves are elitist and driven to conquest. They are viewed as a sadistic, treacherous, and hate-filled by other races, but amongst themselves they honor a strictly lawful code. Although treachery and betrayal are lynchpins of dark elf society, they are usually carried out clandestinely. To do otherwise would be considered tasteless in the extreme.
The dark elves live a life of strict discipline and sadistic violence. They are the keepers of the secrets of the dark arts. They detest all other races and will rarely travel with outsiders unless something can be gained only by doing so.
Dark elves are one of the three known ancient elf races, one of the oldest on Norrath. They are known by the elf word, Teir'Dal, a word meaning "elf of the abyss." They have existed for ages in the dark underworlds of Norrath, and are the children of Innoruuk. Legend has it that the Prince of Hate captured the first elven king and queen and tortured them over the span of 300 years, tearing them apart and rebuilding them in his own twisted image. Whatever their true origins may be, there is no doubt that the dark elves have embraced Hate as a guiding force in their lives. Hate, when disciplined, can make one strong and focused. When inspired in others, it can be a means to corrupt and control them. The practice of necromancy, which the Teir'Dal see as Innoruuk's gift to their race, is very much at the core of their culture.
Dark elves look down upon all other races, but in the past have made use of trolls and ogres as evil pawns. While ogres have regained their former intellect and are no longer prone to Teir'Dal manipulation, dark elves continue to look for ways to manipulate anyone they can.
The Teir'Dal remain devoted to their maker, Innoruuk. Dark elves practice a fanatical form of religion that tolerates no deviation or interpretation of doctrine.
Recent History
Since the closing of the entrance to Neriak, the dark elves left on the surface have been cut off from their ancient home. Those that fled to Freeport did so out of a sense of self-preservation rather than an actual desire to cooperate with the Overlord or the other races. While tolerating the squalid conditions of the city districts, they actively scheme for personal advancement. The Freeport dark elves are willing to play along for now, but will be looking for any opportunity to take advantage of the weakness of others.
In contrast, Teir'Dal calling themselves Thexians are in the process of trying to reopen access to their home city. These devout zealots view the Freeport dark elves as having sold out their heritage, and look down on them with disdain. The Thexians detest being forced to live above ground in Nektulos, viewing the reclamation of their former greatness to be an inevitable function of their destiny. Dark elves who do not pledge to support the efforts of the Thexians will be viewed as traitors to their culture and shunned by the "true" Teir'Dal. As to the dark elf queen and her subjects who remained below, their deeds and fate since the closing of Neriak remains a mystery to their kindred above.
Seekers of Arcane Boundaries
Proper Name. Erudite
City and District of Origin. Qeynos - Starcrest Commune; Freeport - Stonestair Byway
Racial Homeland. Erudin or Paineel on Odus
Alignment. Good or Evil
Mythical Creator. No direct creator
Racial Language. Erudish
Erudites are related to humans and share many of the same defining features. They have devoted their life to the pursuit of inner strength and higher intellect. Having chosen this path, the Erudites tend to be slight in build compared to humans - a characteristic stemming from their detestation and avoidance of conventional labor. The Erudites have also shifted further from their human origins in their quest for planar intellect and mastery of the arcane. Their bodies have become thin and birdlike, but still maintain a defined musculature. They have begun to tattoo runes and symbols upon their bodies.
The Erudites can range from normal human height to about half a foot taller than a tall human. Their weight is as their appearance suggests, normally averaging around 110 to 120 pounds. Their skin has become ashen in color, very unlike the skin tone of any other humanoid race.
Erudites prefer fine garments of rare silks and other highly valuable cloths. Hoods are commonplace, as are decorative metallic headbands encrusted with gems. Erudites are masters of magic and inner strength, and their garb hints of their reliance and faith in their skills, usually displaying symbols of the arcane.
Skin Color.
Erudite skin colors are dark or ashy. They range from lighter ash tones to dark chocolate colors.
Hair Color.
Erudites rarely have much hair at all, and commonly wear headgear. What hair they do have is highlighted browns to black.
Erudites are elitist, and their society has often been isolated by choice from the other races. They usually view themselves as the supreme intelligence, and even when proven wrong they will seldom admit failure. They are calm and cool in battle. Many Erudites put on extravagant displays of spell preparation or combat maneuvers, always going just a bit overboard to show their supposed superior skills. Good or evil, an Erudite finds it difficult to truly allow one of another race to befriend him. Nor is it easy for other races to tolerate the elitist behavior of an Erudite long enough to wish to become a friend. Fellowship between an Erudite and another race are usually brought about by epic journeys, where together they face wonders and great dangers.
Though descended from normal Humans, Erudites eschew all ties to their less intellectual ancestry. Disciples of the great mage Erud, they long ago left the shores of Antonica and headed west to the barren coast of Odus. It was here that the city of Erudin was founded as a bastion of intelligence and culture. With high towers built of white marble, Erudin possesses a lofty beauty unsurpassed by any other work of man. Some years after the founding of the City of High Men, a sect of Erudites began practicing the art of necromancy after obtaining the knowledge from the dark elves. Labeled Heretics, these outcasts rebelled against their own people, and a terrible civil war broke out upon Odus. Magical forces took a horrible toll on all involved, and in a final epic battle a great hole was torn into the ground that touched the fringe of the Underfoot itself. Erudites consider all other races to be inferior, and have no qualms about saying so - especially regarding the kerra, who the Erudites see as little more than animals.
Citizens of Erudin are devout followers of Quellious the Tranquil, whose doctrine of inner peace well suits the discipline necessary for intellectual pursuits. An ancient order of Paladins called the Deepwater Knights remain devoted to Prexus, seeing the rise of the oceans as proof that their god will soon return.
The heretics of Paineel worship Cazic-Thule, applying the power of Fear as a means of controlling lesser beings.
Recent History
Erudites are naturally distant and cold. Most of the race was unwilling to leave the isolation of Odus, even in the face of the devastating cataclysms that struck the world. The ones who did flee to the cities of men fall into two groups: in the case of good Erudites, those who clung tightly to the worship of Quellious and the Word of the Tranquil went to Qeynos; among the evil Erudites, those who went to Freeport are most interested in self-preservation.
In both cases, Erudites consider all other races to be inferior, and have no qualms about saying so. This will be particularly true of the Kerra, who the Erudites see as little more than animals.
Crusaders of Marr
Proper Name. Froglok
City and District of Origin. Qeynos - Castleview Hamlet
Racial Homeland. Gukta-Innothule Swamp
Alignment. Good
Mythical Creator. Mithaniel Marr
Racial Language. Froglokian
The frogloks of Norrath have been touched by the hand of the god of Valor, Mithaniel Marr. They rapidly evolved from short flimsy amphibian humanoids to a more formidable version. A froglok, although short, is not as thin or flimsy as it once was in ages past. There are visibly muscles and tendons creating an imposing upper body cinched to a narrow waist.
Their most notable feature is their long tongue, which can be extended outward up to three feet in some cases. This sticky tongue is perfect for snatching a passing butterfly or even pulling that stein of ale a bit closer. Their stumpy, powerful legs are well suited for swimming at accelerated speeds, but on land they walk rather clumsily. A froglok prefers a form of locomotion that mixes hop and walk, often called halking by some adventurers in jest. A froglok's eyes can rotate independently, and offer it the widest views of all races. It is difficult to surprise these stocky frogs.
Skin Color.
Froglok colors and patterns are shared with many frogs and toads. Their skin may glisten as if coated with shimmering oil, but some frogloks seem to be evolving still, and have begun to show a more dry skin texture.
Frogloks are a chivalrous race whose origin is bound to Valor. They are quick to defend the honor of others and fight any injustice. At times this trait can be a bit overwhelming, always pointing out the slightest abuse of the laws. They are also some of the bravest fighters, and one can always count on a froglok to never retreat in combat if the combat is honorable.
Frogloks are a short amphibious race native to the swamplands of Norrath. Fiercely devoted to Mithaniel Marr, the frogloks have a longstanding conflict with the trolls of Innothule Swamp. Over 400 years ago, their deity blessed some of them with a heightened intellect and enhanced physical features. Shortly thereafter, these frogloks drove the trolls out of the city of Grobb, renaming it Gukta, Outpost of Marr in honor of their master. In terms of architecture and design, the frogloks remain true to their primitive roots. They care little for ornamentation, preferring instead to surround themselves with reminders of their swampy home.
After the conclusion of the Rallosian War, a small number of frogloks settled within the walls of Qeynos. Rumors abound that the remaining frogloks are facing terrible danger, but so far expeditions into the Shattered Lands have returned with no clues as to the whereabouts of this missing people.
The frogloks retain a singular devotion to Mithaniel Marr, which remains unshaken despite the adversities they have suffered. Truth, honor, and courage are the core principles that all frogloks cling to. They have a highly ordered caste of clerics and paladins that diligently advance the principles of their patron god.
Recent History
Gukta was the first casualty of the expanding Rallosian Empire before the Shattering, and the Frogloks were almost completely wiped out by the onslaught of the ogres. They only escaped genocide by taking refuge deep in the lowest portions of Guk, where the Rallosians had difficulty pursuing them. The surviving frogloks have a deep-seeded hatred of ogres, surpassing even their ancient disdain for the trolls. Frogloks abhor anything touched by the influence of Rallos Zek, as they consider him the ultimate architect of evil.
Frogloks are an adaptable race, having made their homes in many areas that used to be inhabited by other races (Guk/Ykesha, Gukta/Grobb, and Sebilis). As such, they thrive among the other races, especially those who honor the same values they do. Even so, some frogloks look forward to returning to their beloved swamp, and trust that Marr will guide them there.
Tinkers of Innovation
Proper Name. Gnome
City and District of Origin. Qeynos - The Baubleshire, Freeport - Temple Street
Racial Homeland. Ak'Anon on Faydwer
Alignment. Good and Evil
Mythical Creator. Brell Serilis
Racial Language. Gnomish
Gnomes are smallest of the great races. A typical gnome is about 3.5 feet tall and usually weighs around 60 pounds, never nearing the 100 mark. They are thin and not at all muscular. They have pronounced physical features, almost a caricature of a human face. Hair styles are often flamboyant and pointy. They often, but not always, use rare gels to form their hair into stiff points and curves.
Skin Color.
Gnome skin colors range from pale to dusky. As with dwarves, they have existed within the darkness of a subterranean world for generations.
Hair Color.
Gnome hair colors vary, but are commonly fair.
The gnomes are the most industrious and curious of races. They are both inquisitive and analytical to extreme degrees. Those two traits drove them to create some of the most wondrous inventions ever wrought on Norrath. Even their failures are often awe inspiring. The gnomish character can often be a disadvantage in a conflict or in any business transaction. The problem is, that although the gnomes are quick witted, their analytical nature causes them to analyze situations to absurd ends. They can often be seen beginning to mutter to themselves as they work a multitude of scenarios out in their heads. They often are bored with simple chit chat, but are never so rude as to ignore the speaker. Oftentimes when they get bored, their minds will begin to analyze something behind the speaker, or the speaker's appearance, or the amount of sips it would take a dwarf to finish the ale within his goblet. But they are never rude. Gnomes are seldom arrogant, even though they know their race is the most innovative on Norrath.
Gnomes are a tiny, slightly built race created by Brell. What they lack in size they make up for in tenacity and ingenuity. Gnomes are known for their inquisitive nature, constantly tinkering with things both mystical and technological. This poking around has gotten them into trouble in the past, but their craftiness and intellect has allowed them to survive and prosper despite whatever mischief they might unleash. Gnomish architecture is mechanistic in nature, with lots of gears and motors turning all manner of odd creations. Gnomes are known for constructing "clockwork" devices, essentially mechanical versions of all manner of creatures, from rats to dragons. They even make clockwork gnomes to aid them in the completion of manual labor.
Like their cousins the dwarves, gnomes are adept miners with a love for precious gems and the metals of the earth. As they are lacking in physical strength, many gnomes concentrate on intellectual pursuits through the study of magic. Gnomes believe every question can be answered through their system of Mechanimagica, a belief that combines science and magic. The gnomes' analytical minds are always working, constantly devising new formulas, strategies, and sometimes mischief.
Though basically materialistic in nature, gnomes who choose a religious life pursue it with extreme fervor, overcoming their physical limitations to become devoted crusaders and priests. Good gnomes worship either Brell or Bristlebane. An evil sect primarily composed of necromancers and shadowknights praises Bertoxxulous the Plaguebringer. An infamous necromancer named Meldrath the Malignant was known for a labyrinth of caves in the Steamfront Mountains which housed his minotaur army.
Recent History
Gnomes are a very social race that adapts well to just about any situation. While they may profess a desire to seek out their ancestral home, most gnomes will be quite satisfied to burrow down into the earth and make a new home surrounded by their tinkered creations. Others prefer the adventure of the high seas, and look forward to being on the forefront of exploration and rediscovery.
Some gnomes will no doubt be trying to construct all manner of devices designed to allow safe travel across the dangerous seas.
Half Elf
The Elven Outcasts
Proper Name. Ayr'Dal
City and District of Origin. Qeynos - The Willow Wood, Freeport - Beggars Court
Racial Homeland. No true homeland, but they often come from Qeynos or Freeport
Alignment. Neutral
Mythical Creator. None
Racial Language. Ayr'Dal
The half elves are the offspring of the union between any of the three ancient elven races and a human. Physically, they closely resemble humans in build, but with the more delicate elven facial structure. This blending of features creates perhaps one of the most exquisitely beautiful races on Norrath. The half elves are rebellious, and this seems to show through in their hair styles and garb. There are no Norrathian societies that can come close to some of the outlandish fashions of the half elves.
Half elves are shorter than humans and taller than elves. Their body is that of a svelte human and their face is blessed with the beauty of the elves. Their ears are pointed, but not as long as some of the elven societies.
Skin Color.
Half elf skin colors range from fair colors to a medium bronze. Their elf bloodline mixed with humans' leads to darker shades as well.
Hair Color.
Half elf hair color has all the hues of human hair, plus some unique colorings of their own.
With a past that is haunted by prejudice, the half elves were, for centuries, outcasts from civilized society. Having no true history of their on other than repression, half elves often grow up independent and unwilling to follow the rules of society. They can be abrasive or quiet - and the quietest ones are often the most dangerous. Smiles seldom visit their faces, and they rarely grant unrequited favors. Why, after all, should they give unto others courtesies that have been denied to them since birth?
Only in recent decades have half elves began to unite and forge a heritage for half elves yet unborn. Half elves are quick to befriend one another, knowing that in this world they only have their own kind to truly depend upon. But there are those half elves who also befriend other races, though their trust is seldom given fully except through adventuring with others and facing grave dangers side by side. When such a friendship is given, it is never forgotten by the half elf, who will never hesitate to vouch for his friends to others of the half elf race.
Caught between cultures, half elves possess no heritage of their own and have long been forced to exist outside the boundaries of polite society. As such, they've been mostly content to live in the human cities or to embrace their woodland heritage and call the outdoors home. With the influx of refugees into the cities, half elves have come to feel displaced from the only way of life they knew. They have grown somewhat rebellious as a result and refer to themselves as Ayr'Dal, a term derived from the old elven word for "misfit." Though often used by dark elves and high elves as an insult, the half elves have embraced the word as a symbol of their unique place in the world.
High elves and dark elves view half elves with disdain, as they represent a taint upon the purity of their respective races. Wood elves are somewhat more accepting, and humans simply don't care one way or the other.
Many half elves feel abandoned and out of place in the world, and so choose not to worship any specific deity. The exceptions are druids, who are respectful of Nature as a primal force, though they do pledge allegiance to Tunare or Karana.
Recent History
Since they have, for centuries, lived primarily in human cities anyway, half elves do not have a strong emotional reaction to the Shattering. A few would like to see their parents' home on Faydwer, but the vast majority feel abandoned by their elven heritage.
A pervasive feeling among modern half elves is that their place in urban society has been usurped by the arrival of so many other races. Half elves had grown to accept their role as strangers and misfits, and now suddenly many races also fall into that category, including the high-and-mighty elves. This has caused many half elves to adopt a nihilistic philosophy, rebelling against the new order that has developed inside the city walls. As a way to help establish a unique identity, Half Elves have developed their own language called Ayr'Dal, a blend of human and elven tongues that they keep to themselves.
Purveyors of Merriment and Mischief
Proper Name. Halfling
City and District of Origin. Qeynos - The Baubbleshire
Racial Homeland. Rivervale - The Enchanted Lands
Alignment. Good
Mythical Creator. Fizzlethorpe Bristlebane
Racial Language. Stout
Halflings are a pudgy race. They are the second shortest of the great races. Many view them as easy targets for both physical abuse and ridicule, but the halfling is far from being an easy target. They are quite nimble - a trait that defies their appearance. At first glance, it's easy to mistake halflings for human children. At a second and closer glance would reveal the face of an adult halfling with coarse hair growing upon his bare feet.
Halfling clothing is both utilitarian and colorful. Their armor must be lighter than average and is most often created by banding together smaller plates of armor. This helps in both weight and mobility, but often creates a clamor of clanking.
Skin Color.
Halfling skin tones are shared with humans.
Hair Color.
Halfling hair color is similar to humans.
Halflings are the most jovial and mischievous of the races on Norrath. These short humanoids are quick of wit and delight in pranks. Halflings may be short, but they use their small stature and nimbleness to combat foes of greater size and strength. They prefer a quiet rural setting rather than a bustling crowded city, but have a love of adventure that is a part of their mischievous nature. A halfling is very good at deceit, but never of malicious intent. They are quite good at outwitting others into performing the hard work that they can take credit for. With a love for ale and deft feet for dancing, they are often more than welcome within any tavern, often looked upon by the owners as free entertainment.
Halflings are the creation of Bristlebane, King of Thieves and lord of the Plane of Mischief. They are, as their name implies, about half the height of humans, and are known for their rounded, slightly portly features and oversized hairy feet. Halflings are good-natured and friendly, amiable to just about anyone who doesn't show them open hostility. Though well-intentioned, it is common for halflings to fall into all manner of mischief and shenanigans. Nothing pleases a halfling more than sitting by a fire with family and friends, recounting stories of past adventures. Even so, halflings are durable survivors, formidable in battle when forced into that situation.
Originally from Rivervale, halflings are devoted to their beloved thicket. They build houses into grass-covered mounds of earth, being partial to rounded doorways and low ceilings.
Halfling clerics and paladins are devoted to their maker, Bristlebane. Those who follow the calling of the druidic lifestyle worship Karana.
Affects of the Shattering
Halflings are unusually tied to their home city, but also to their homeland in the Misty Thicket. It saddens them greatly to be away from it, trapped within the cold stone walls of the human cities. Though most are still generally cheery in demeanor, some Halflings have fallen into a depression over the possibility that their homeland may be gone. While eager to help the Qeynosians rebuild the world, halflings will jump at any chance to search for signs of home.

When you stop shaving by traditional blade and switch to waxing, there is a period of time you have to go through that absolutely drives a person to distraction. I hate stubble as much as I hate onions, well almost. Stubble doesn't make me puke in my mouth.
Let's face it, waxing is a bit expensive and more than a bit personal. To get it right though you do sort of want to make sure it's being done by a professional. I read the email in which the helpful lady recounts her story of home waxing and getting her girly bits stuck to the bathtub. I'm ok with a little pain, but my Jacuzzi doesn't deserve such treatment. After the last time I paid Helga the Hun to rip the hair from my body... ok, after I finished crying THEN paid her, I decided it was time to look into alternative solutions.
- I am not a fan of creams and lotions. They have a tendancy to burn my skin while leaving behind hair. Either my skin is ultra sensitive or the hair on my legs should be studied by the Propecia people and used to treat male pattern baldness. I am willing to allow Nair, Neat, Propecia, Nioxin, etc scientists to take a sample of my hair for a price
- Shaving allows hair to grow back too quickly for my taste, and I do NOT like getting somewhere and realizing I missed a spot. Even if I had a razor in my purse (because who doesn't right?) I'd probably be out of lotion with no source of water and I'd be compelled to dry shave. There is no way I could NOT shave it knowing there was a strip of dark on the back of my calf.
- That Smooth Away product looked neat until I realized it was just sandpaper. Somehow I don't think those results last very long, and the idea of sanding myself seems wrong. Besides, I don't trust anything you can only buy on TV late at night or from the end-cap at Walmart.
- I tried the original Epilady when I was a teen. We all know that the pain experienced when using the Epilady was equivalent to being stabbed in the eye with a million needles... or dare I say it... child birth. The other thing I remember about the ripping stick is that the hair took forever to grow back.
In true "if you love it so much why don't you marry it" fashion, I wanted you all to be the first to know that I am marrying my EP5000 SS. It certainly does the job in the bedroom, if ya know what I mean <wink>. Uh, what I mean is that I use it when I am sitting on the bed watching TV. I suppose it could also do the job in the bathroom, kitchen, livingroom, etc.
I care neither that it can't mow the lawn nor that it will be a sexless marriage. I like to mow the yard and I am not getting any of the other as it is. This maintains the status quo with the benefit of being almost completely hairless!

OK. We thought this would be pretty obvious, but clearly there are more vulnerable people out there than we thought. In any case, here's a super helpful PSA:
The WhatsApp messages regarding WannaCry affecting online transactions and spreading through WhatsApp are FAKE.
Sony's premium flagship, the Xperia XZ Premium is finally coming to Malaysia. Succeeding the Xperia Z5 Premium, this is the world's first smartphone to feature a 4K HDR display and it's capable of shooting slow-mo videos at 960fps.
Google has been talking about connecting the next billion. These are basically users in the emerging markets that would access the internet for the first time on a smartphone. Previously, Google had initiated Android One with an aim to make smartphones more affordable. This was achieved by giving vendors a reference device template to follow while running on stock Android software.
Lazada Malaysia is launching a brand new "social commerce channel" and it's called Lazada TV. And from what they've said, it does look like Lazada's trying to bring teleshopping to the internet.
After introducing the Surface Laptop, Microsoft is expected to release a successor to its Surface Pro 4 convertible tablet next week. Serial leakster @evleaks once again has dropped early details of the upcoming device and it will be simply known as the Surface Pro.
The most affordable Snapdragon 835 powered flagship smartphone appears to be coming to Malaysia real soon. The Xiaomi Mi 6, which was launched exactly a month ago has finally passed our local certification.

Janet Evanovich Quotes About CoffeeQuotes about: Coffee
That was close,"he said, helping himself to coffee. Yeah, you almost opened the door to Morelli." I wasn't talking about Morelli. I was talking about us." That too," I said. Ranger sliced a bagel and looked for the toaster. It's broken,"I told him. He truned the boiler on and slid the bagel into the oven. That's surprisingly domestic for a man of mystery," I said to him. He looked at me over the rim of his coffee mug. "I like things hot.
I took the stool next to him, raising an eyebrow at the coffee and cruller on the counter. "Thought you weren't into internal pollution," I said. Lately Ranger'd been on a health food thing. "Props," Ranger told me. "Didn't want to look out of place." I didn't want to burst his fantasy bubble, but the only time Ranger wouldn't look out of place would be standing in a lineup between Rambo and Batman.
Opening my door to Dillon Ruddick, my bulding super. I handed him a cup of coffee. "Sorry about the blood." "What was it this time?" No one reported gunfire." "I hit a guy in the face with a hair dryer." "Whoa." Dillon said. "It wasn't my fault," I told him. "Maybe we should lay down some linoleum here. It would make things easier for clean up.

Death row inmates await execution dates amid probe
(AP) -- Two more Oklahoma death row inmates have exhausted their appeals and are ready to have execution dates set once the state finishes its investigation into drug mixups during the last two lethal injections.
The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals released an order Monday for stays of execution for two convicted killers -- Richard Stephen Fairchild and Jeremy Alan Williams.
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt notified the court both men had exhausted their appeals, but that execution dates shouldn't be set while a grand jury investigates how the wrong drug was delivered for the last two lethal injections.
One inmate was executed using the wrong drug in January 2015, and a second inmate was just hours away from his lethal injection in September when prison officials noticed the mistake.

For instance, it has to really have the contact data of the client, along with the name of the organization and its handle. It always identifies the type of companies supplied for giving them along with the cost arranged. Usually, firms include their emblem in the invoice and, depending on business' dynamics, the payment terms may be mentioned by them and the breakdown of services or products provided.

Hike to the Overlook Mountain House Ruins
12 comments:
Honestly, Jamie, I don't know whether to love or fear you...because I have spent more than a few dollars trying out your recommendations. Really glad about Stillman & Birn, but scared about how much my messenger bag weighs now (I missed the part where you must've pared your big bag before you went mountain hiking with your husband.)ReplyDelete
Honestly, your sketches, your supply lists, your travel stories are all inspiring. I've already increased my Stillman & Birn sketchbook stock from NEVER-HEARD-OF-IT to OOOOH LA LA.
Really, it's amazing how influential you've been to me in the past few months.
Very nice! 'Was there last October!ReplyDelete
Raye, I'm so glad I've been able to help you find supplies that help you to do what you love doing! This year I have really pared down my hiking bag to be able to paint and sketch, since I've been hiking to most of my painting locations. I did a big backpack search and found an ultralight pack and a way to carry very little with me. I will do a post on it soon with a "Show & Tell"! I actually have four options for sketching materials. Two are backpacks, one is the Nomadic Wise-Walker Messenger Bag, and one is a large case with shoulder strap that a friend gave me (specifically outfitted to hold all my Pitt Big Brush Pens, Pitt (regular) brush pens, and assorted other stuff). I've already showed the messenger bag in a post, but I will share the others too as soon as I can take some pics and get them uploaded. We find ourselves in so many different situations; no way can just one bag or pack do all the work. If I need to fly somewhere, I take the messenger bag on the plane and pack the lightest backpack in my luggage. When I have the luxury of being able to carry more, I do! Then I use my larger backpack, or bring my case with the shoulder strap and Pitt Pens (and other stuff).ReplyDelete
I love the rich colors of the building...ReplyDelete
Catharus and Kate, thank you so much! I always take lots of photos and think I will do more from the photos, but the reality is that there's nothing like being there on location, and I rarely feel inspired to pull out the photos and work from the camera's viewpoint instead of my own! Thanks for liking it so much and helping me to appreciate those magical moments we have when working directly from the source.ReplyDelete
Jamie- I always find your watercolor sketches so inspiring!! I think I need to put down the oils for at least a weekend- and pack up something light like this gear you've mentioned.ReplyDelete
I hadn't seen this before, Jamie, and it is wonderful. I love the colors you used in the building.ReplyDelete

Meet Our Grower Partners
Andersen Organics
Andersen Organics was established by Brian and Denise Andersen in 1984. Their 500+ acre family farm is located in the heart of the sunny Columbia Basin near Othello, WA.
The Andersen family has always had a deep connection to the land on which they farm and this ultimately led them to become certified organic in 2003. Since this time, they have become experts on using composted manures to create fertile, healthy soil. This composted manure is applied months before planting so that when it comes time to plant, their crops have access to vital nutrients from day one.

Andersen Organics also utilizes drip tape irrigation within their fields. While this method is much more laborious and time consuming, it is an important tool in facilitating the conservation of water and producing superior quality produce.
Knowing that Bridges Produce and the Andersen family share the same core values of protecting natural resource and providing high quality organic produce make this a spectacular partnership.

Holtzinger Fruit
Adolfo Alvarez started his career with very little, except his willingness to work hard and a desire to learn everything he could. In 1998, after many years of working for other farmers, he decided it was time to buy his own 80-acre farm in Prosser, Washington.
Making use of his years of experience, he quickly began to make improvements to the farm. He immediately made the transition to organic and he dramatically improved the efficiency of his irrigation system by converting to micro-sprinklers with help from the Natural Resource Conservation Service.
It was the way the orchard responded to the organic method that assured Adolfo that he had made the right decision. Adolfo is now the owner of approximately 200 acres of organic apples, pears and cherries.
He works tirelessly to expand and improve his orchard, continually grafting new varieties to improve his quality and yield. Adolfo says, "I guarantee that once you taste my fruit, you'll never taste anything better."
Protecting and improving the land and soil is the centerpiece of Adolfo's farming philosophy. He has a deep-seated desire to leave the land in better condition for the next generation. You can't talk to Adolfo for long without him coming back to his fundamental purpose, "It's for the kids."
His concern for the health, safety and welfare of not just his own children, but for the farmworkers' children and all the children of the community, is what inspired him to do his utmost to improve the environment and the quality of our food supply with an abundance of delicious and healthy produce.

Apples / CHERRIES
Twin River Produce
Twin River Produce is run by farther and son team Paul and Ben Escoe, who grow and source berries from farms in Oregon, Washington, Mexico, and Argentina.
The Escoes began growing organic blueberries in 2004. In 2012, they added supply from Argentina to keep up with the blueberry demand throughout the winter months. The name Twin River Produce was born in 2015 when a new partnership with two Washington blueberry farms gave them access to a larger growing region and the ability to meet the needs of more customers.
During the winter of 2016-17, Twin River Produce expanded their offerings by supplying blueberries, raspberries and blackberries from a new partner in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The Escoe family is dedicated to working with family farms who care about their land, fruit, and community. Their partner farms are passionate about utilizing farming practices that add, rather than deplete, nutrients to the soil. The berries imported from both Mexico and Argentina are grown on farms that are Fair for Life certified. Fair for Life is a fair trade program that allows producers and workers who are at a socio-economic disadvantage to access a wider range of social and economic benefits.
We are pleased to be able to represent Twin River Produce's berries not only because of their premium fruit, but because of their dedication to sustainable growing practices, and the respect they have for all individuals, from the farmworkers to the end consumer. Learn more at www.trproduce.com

Don't sweat the small stuff

A flat-rate fee can flatter.
Flattr: Small change, for big change.
Heh. All my own words (the ones after the video!) OK, maybe I shouldn't give up the day job just yet 🙂
Flattr seems like a great idea[1]. I've only just signed up for it myself, so I can't vouch for how well it works. As with many things, time will tell. The website interface seems well-polished; I encountered no problems (and was even able to easily find a 'delete my account' facility, which has been a notorious problem with some systems).

With the increase in crime around the globe, home security options have grown by leaps and bounds. In this age of technology, options have become more complex and smarter. Homes can now be locked digitally, monitored remotely, and controlled through WiFi.
Many people utilise video surveillance to keep continuous monitoring of their homes and businesses. These monitors are stationary and must be placed in multiple locations in each room if you wish to get a complete view of an area. To install these cameras, the cost can run substantially high. Not to mention all of the hooks ups and supplemental equipment you will need to work with the system. Omar Barlas, who lives in Texas, was in this kind of predicament. With his background in Software, he ventured out to create his own camera that would give him the ability to have a complete view of his home. From this need, the Orbii video camera came into existence.
The droid rolling camera would operate by rolling from room to room freely. A regular system would cost about $3000 to install. Having a single rolling camera would down costs substantially. I would do the work of a full load of cameras all by itself.
This project that came to fruition received an honourable mention award at the CES Innovation Awards in 2016. Orbii is in the prototype phase but development is moving fast. The version in use can roll around and send a live video stream, but it is missing the ability of home protection. The first Orbiis should be available for purchase sometime in 2017.
The original Orbii quickly spins around as it rolls. The newer one is more stable and stays in the upright position. Weight has been added to the bottom by the drive positioning. The final version that is being worked on will contain a surface that will be more resistance to scratching. With the rotation and movement of the Orbii it is important that the outer shell is fully protected so that it can ensure and offer long lasting use. The stability is also important so that there are no issues with the drive in the near foreseeable future.
After so much time spent in development of droid rolling camera, is the ability to pick and choose from an array of colours offered by the makers of the Orbii. This will be able to be customised at the time of the order. This makes it convenient for individuals to pick their favourite colours. For those individuals who are nit picky about interior design, they will be able to coordinate the camera with their interior design plans. Being a smart device and so technologically advanced, the Orbii certainly has an advantage over other more traditional cameras being offered on the market today. The convenience and cost savings are also what will make the Orbii a home-run among fans. Keep your eyes open for this technology to hit the market soon, and be ready to grab yours when it becomes available.

Tea giving is a kind-spirit Taiwanese tradition. Villagers place complementary tea refreshments in mountain pavilions for travelers to enjoy; thus naming the tradition "Tea Giving".
Feeling the need of introducing and expanding this warm-hearted gesture, PEGA D&E took the hospitable tradition and turned it into a modern gift basket. Different from the usual round tin can design, PEGA D&E gave "Tea Giving" a new look, a rectangular paper holding bag. Using white Kraft paper, "Tea Giving" achieves a classy and smooth exterior design. The holder of the bag is braided with unprocessed yellow Kraft paper. The combination of the exterior and the holder symbolizes traditional tea giving in modern style.
The design of "Tea Giving" is clean and classy with tea leaves over the white Kraft background sending a sense of peace and Zen. This design is also environmentally friendly due to the easily decomposable and recyclable nature of Kraft paper. Furthermore, the graphic design the product to consume minimal carbon ink
The spirit of "Tea Giving" relies in the word "giving". Gift giving can be an art "Tea Giving" shows gratefulness and respect in a modest and environmentally friendly manner.

|Letter and Artwork from Holly
One of the 'themes' of the Kernowland in Erthwurld stories is mutant creatures. Lots of children like to draw their own mutant creatures and send them to me for putting on the Blog. Holly's creature has great big wings, a very long tail, and looks as if it might be breathing fire! I like the way the Holly has coloured the creature in different shades of green. She has also drawn some other pictures of 'things' or 'objects' from the Kernowland books and written me a lovely letter. Thanks Holly.

Mocha Chocolate Cake
It's no secret that my favorite thing to bake is birthday cakes. Not only can I be extra as fuck and nobody judges me because I'm just *such a good friend* – but it also gives me a chance to be creative in the kitchen. Coming up with a friend's birthday cake starts with the typical CSI level interrogation as I prod them with questions and "this or that" trying…View Post

Artist Statement
I'm 50 and make my living working in the humanities department of university library.
I began working with 3D computer art programs, including Bryce, in 1996.
Drawing on a background in both art and math I quickly took to this digital art medium.
I feel comfortable working in 3D mathematical space, but the real focus in my art is on surfaces and textures.
I have numerous ongoing series including simulated glass, stained glass, watercolors, metal, and surreal and abstract pieces. Currently I am posting a new gallery of still images on my web site each month.
Eventually I want to turn some of my attention to surreal and ethereal 3D animations.
I think that has been my real goal all along.
My current 3D still images are a first step in that direction.
I work in relative isolation, but draw inspiration for some of my 3D images from new art books that I catalog as part of my job.

Talk radio host and author of "The Liberty Amendments," Mark Levin criticized "neophytes" on the Fox News Channel for some of their criticisms of Ted Cruz on Monday.
Levin began by saying "I am a huge fan of the Fox News Channel, particularly certain hosts," but he added "I have to wonder, if Ronald Reagan were running in 1976, starting in 75 against Gerald Ford, how most the people on Fox would treat him. Because, to my great dismay, as I was preparing for the program, I had my favorite cable network on, and a number of the people were trashing Ted Cruz, not enough experience, he's too young, too conservative, needs a bigger tent, he's down in the polls. These people are neophytes, neophytes, they have never fought in Republican primaries for conservative candidates…and I am convinced if Reagan were alive today and Gerald Ford were alive today, and we were doing a re-run of 1975-76, Reagan would be trashed all over our favorite cable channel."
Levin also stated that "several people" on FNC "know who they want, they want Jeb Bush, I don't know why they just don't say it."

Making the most of client year-end review sessions
As the year begins to wind down, it's time to sit down with clients to make sure everything is on track for them to take advantage of whatever opportunities exist to ease the tax bite next April. But as a holistic advisor, taxes are just the tip of the iceberg. "A comprehensive year-end review will uncover many ways you can be of service and give clients the benefit of your broad expertise," said Chad Smith, a wealth management strategist as HD Vest Financial Services.
"The process will also ensure that you have been operating under the right assumptions about what your clients are trying to accomplish, and how they want to go about it," he added.
There are four basic categories of your clients' financial lives to review when you have that sit-down: general and large financial status items, retirement savings tactics, gifting goals, and tax-timing strategies. Here is a review of each category that you can use to create a checklist to cover all the bases and spot areas that need to be attended to.
These items represent the foundation blocks of clients' financial lives.
- Family dynamics: Have there been any new children, or a change in marital status?
- Health: Any significant changes in the health of your client and family members that have implications for anticipated medical spending and health benefit plan selection?
- Health benefits: Is your client taking advantage of any available health savings accounts or flexible spending accounts, and are they enrolled in the most appropriate health plan option at work?
- Insurance review: Are all the needed life, disability income, long-term-care, auto, homeowners and other appropriate property & casualty coverage categories (e.g., umbrella liability) in place?
- Employment status: Have any changes occurred that impact income – or are there any on the horizon?
- Real estate: Has your client moved, or do they plan to soon?
- Risk tolerance: It's always a good idea to check your clients' pulse on this topic for possible changes that would indicate a need to alter investment strategy.
- Beneficiary review: Do current beneficiaries coordinate with the client's overall legacy plans?
- Estate planning documents: Do they still reflect your clients' wishes, and are they up to date with current law?
- Required minimum distributions: Remember they are required after clients turn 70-1/2.
- Retirement cash flow plan: Check to make sure original goals are still in place.
- Asset allocation: Are assets allocated appropriately given current client goals, and do assets need rebalancing in light of financial market changes?
- Debt review: Is your client's debt burden reasonable? Growing imprudently? Are there opportunities to refinance debt on more favorable terms?
With the vast variety of retirement savings vehicles in existence, it's important to make sure clients are taking advantage of those they can.
Are employed clients with company 401k's getting the most they can in employer matches, and putting away as much as they can? Or if they own a business, are they maximizing their retirement savings opportunities using the optimum plan design? Are individuals using the right plans for additional savings, whether an IRA, a Roth IRA, a non-deductible, or some other deferral option, such as annuities, cash-value life insurance and tax-efficient investments?
It does not always occur to clients that they can be methodical about gifting, and find tax-efficient methods of helping family members. This can include:
- Charitable gifting: Outright gifts to charities.
- Gifts to family: Annual exclusion usage, outright gifts, gifts to a trust for the benefit of a family member.
- Educational savings: Tax-efficient vehicles include 529 plans, Coverdell savings accounts and education IRAs.
Here are the traditional core elements of a year-end meeting focusing on tax minimization:
- Tax loss harvesting: Review client portfolio gains and losses for tax-savings opportunities.
- Dividend and capital gains reviews: Take a look at expected returns and associated tax liabilities.
- Payment of estimated state and local taxes: Discuss deductions and an AMT mitigation strategy.
- Distributions from retirement plans: Discuss taxation and future tax projections.Roth conversion: Discussion of the tax efficiency of an IRA-to-Roth conversion.
- Business expenditures: Timing of capital investments from a need and tax perspective.
- Stock options: Review tax implications of exercising options, as well as a timing strategy.
- Bonus income: Forecast amount and, for those with flexibility in the timing of receiving the bonus, discuss which year it should be taken.
That's a lot to talk about, so the sooner you can start reaching out to clients, the better – and the better of you'll both be, come the end of the year and the start of tax season.

Scandal's Katie Lowes Is Leaving Gender Up to Her Kid
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Well, Scandal actor Katie Lowes and her husband, Adam Shapiro, are definitely expecting a baby — but they don't know and don't care about the kid's gender. And it's not up to them, anyway.
To be clear, Lowes does know the sex of her baby: "Our son will be born with male parts," she said in a recent interview with Fit Pregnancy. "But we have no idea what he will identify as or what his sexual orientation will be. I wish, now more than ever, to just please let my son be healthy and happy and safe. That's all that matters."
Damn. We couldn't love Lowes' attitude any more — and we hope to hear it more from parents everywhere. Maybe it won't be long before we finally ditch the gender stereotypes (and awful pastel hues) that come with the pronouncement of "It's a boy!" or "It's a girl!" Because the sex a person is assigned at birth doesn't actually get at the question of that person's eventual gender identity — not even close.
We're especially impressed by Lowes' free-thinking approach to the antiquated issue, especially since she thinks of herself as a "type-A planner."
More: Can We Stop Calling "Gender-Neutral" a Parenting Trend?
Lowes wasn't completely immune to the suspense of finding out the baby's sex, despite her chill attitude about gender.
"We wanted to find out the sex of the baby," she said, "so I had my doctor write it on a card that my husband, Adam, picked up. We drove to this beautiful area of California called Meditation Mount, which at sunset has a stunning view of a valley. I opened [the card] that said 'It's a boy!'... A moment later, I was crying with happiness."
More: My Child Came Out as Transgender — Now What?
Lowes and Shapiro were both nannies in the past (um, best parents-to-be ever?); in fact, Lowes used to nanny for actor/singer Connie Britton's kids. So having a baby is not a big, scary thing for the couple according to Lowes.
Well... at least the parenting part is not so scary. Lowes is a little freaked out about the actual delivery: "I do feel completely petrified about how my son is getting out of my body," she said. Don't worry, Katie — we have a sneaking suspicion the kiddo will figure it out just fine.

Employment in certain industries can be hazardous to an employee's health and put him in extremely dangerous environments. In regions where the majority of residents work in the coal mining industry, it is crucial that employees have access to workers' compensation, in the unfortunate event of an on-the-job injury. Without workers' compensation benefits, an injured employee may not have access to lost wages and medical expenses payments. If a worker is hurt or killed while one the job, workers' compensation ultimate assists with any expenses and financial burdens the employee endures.
Unfortunately, a work accident occurred recently at a mine in Raleigh County and tragically resulted in the death of a coal miner. The accident happened while the 44-year-old miner was shoveling coal ribs. The miner was hit by a scoop, which caused fatal injuries to his body. Details surrounding the incident and the injuries suffered are not available at this time. The workplace accident is still under investigation and corporate counsel for the mining company is very concerned about the incident.
The mining company has experienced two fatal mining accidents during the month of February, and this fatal work accident is the fourth mining-related death in the state of West Virginia this year. Workplace safety is crucial in the mining industry, and the loved ones of a miner killed on-the-job could receive workers' compensation benefits. Medical bills, funeral costs, lost wages and pain and suffering could potentially be covered by the awarded compensation.
The death of a loved one who is fatally injured at the workplace can be emotional and create hardships. Not only have they lost a loved one but they could also experience financial hardships because of their death.

Iain never sits on the fence, his advice is clear and commercial. Perhaps most importantly, when you leave Iain with a job it gets done.
Iain is much more than a lawyer, he is a business partner bringing sound commercial judgement to the table. It's easy to understand too as it's delivered in simple 'pub speak'!
Fleet Sales is a fast paced business and we always need a team that is responsive and commercially aware. Iain and his team were somehow always able to turn things around very quickly even when we knew they had many competing demands on their time. Each time they understood the issues that were important and avoided getting stuck in the detail of matters that did not.
Iain was my Chief Legal guy during most of my time as CEO, Mercedes-Benz UK. He is probably the best lawyer I have met in business. He was always one step ahead in identifying issues and ensuring the business was prepared for what may be around the corner to the benefit of Mercedes-Benz UK and its retailer network.

Churches needed
There seems to be an increase of frustration concerning the church at large- a real examining of what is called 'church' in America.
It seems there are two predominant groups pointing out these flaws of the American church. One group are those who abandon church altogether, they use the problems as justification for not doing anything or not being involved in anything. These are those who crave to hear all these problems pointed out, but wouldn't give anything to see these things changed. These are those who when asked what a church should look like, only reveal their own shallowness. The question is NOT what kind of church would you like to attend, but WHAT is a biblical church, WHAT needs to be in a church in order to fulfill the requirements of scripture. Then YOU must answer the question: Do you want the same kind of church God wants? Unfamiliar? Yeah so what? There are things that you must get over, like style of worship (simple, choir, standing, sitting, contemporary, hymns, hands raised etc..)-things that have more to do with preference then God's glory. For a short and sweet summary: www.9marks.org
NOW let me say this: There is an incredible need for true churches in America. Churches that are centered upon the glory of God. Churches you feel absolutely comfortable inviting people to or recommending: those types of churches ARE NOT in abundance. THE mission field is EVERYWHERE, we are commissioned to go, disciple and teach. Considering foreign missions that work, which are those that plant biblical churches in places that have no such privileges. As Paul Washer often says "These people don't NEED YOU, they need TRUTH", brother Paul tells of the time (which have been many) a young man calling and telling him they he wanted to join brother Paul on the mission field (when he was a missionary to Peru), Paul had asked him about his studies the young man replied 'well that's not really my strong point, i just want to give my life away', Paul replied "no one needs you life, they need truth!" I just love that, it's so biblical. We should be concerned with the fruit being produced, we should be doing all we can to do to be fruitful-keep this in mind when you consider who you support.
The NEED in America is for biblical churches that preach the gospel, that are Spirit-driven, not driven by numbers, not satisfied with a bunch of people professing Christ, but RISKING all to confront each and every person with the gospel and with the the revelation of JESUS CHRIST.
Are you willing to do something about the lack of TRUE churches (the lack of fulfilling the great commission), would you support those who want to plant biblical churches? Pastors are you looking to raise up leaders within your congregation that will be ready to plant true churches? I'm not a satellite church fan, churches that have a screen where someone preaches because they can't hold as many people in their sanctuary (i understand there are some good teachers that do this), this is in my estimate is a failure to pour into other men that are called to the ministry.
The great commission is NOT: share a flash gospel with as many people as you can, so you can sleep better at night and then feel important during testimony time because you had a lot of decisions. PEOPLE ARE NOT NUMBERS!!! I don't think there are many people who when the first time they were witnessed to (or what's called that) get saved. Yet because many are pulling for a 'salvation prayer' at the end (or inviting someone to a special event with an salvation by prayer altar call) it leaves people only hearing something of the gospel ONCE then from that point on they feel as though they 'got IT', from there they walk about unconcerned and secure and when someone tries to confronts them with the gospel they reply "don't worry about me, I'm saved!" and the average Christian in America would reply "OK, praise the Lord" What's the problem? THE PROBLEM IS THAT THESE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A CHANCE TO HEAR THE TRUE GOSPEL, A COMPLETE GOSPEL, AN EXAMINING GOSPEL, BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T CARE THAT THE CHURCH YOU LEFT THEM AT IS NOT PREACHING THOSE TRUTHS!!!!! So the problem only continues, and the name and meaning of Christian is further clouded and redefined! It's the same as a family that has children that are malnourished and neglected, that hears of the great need out there of adoptions, so decides they will adopt a group of children! Immediately you see the problem with that right? Yet this is exactly how evangelism is predominately viewed.
Here is a conference I would personally recommend above all the other conferences that I know of: I WILL be going this TIME! The past conferences (dvds) have been very resourceful, convicting, passionate, and to the point: http://www.anchoredintruth.org/tcc
Well i we could go on for hours about this (which Macarthur says, is what a preacher says when he's run out of material). No but seriously, i got some other thoughts from other angles that i'll post later.
